Rice Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Mix rice, egg, basil, milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour rice mixture into the skillet in 2 equal portions. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until second side is browned, about 2 minutes more.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the rice and salt into the boiling water.
• Cover and cook slowly until the water is absorbed, 7-10 minutes.
• Add the milk, stir, cover, and cook 10-12 minutes more, or until the rice is tender.
• Stir in 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of the butter.
• Spread the mixture on a shallow plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
• Beat the remaining egg in a shallow dish and put the crumbs on a piece of wax paper.
• Shape the well-chilled rice mixture into 6 conical or patty shapes, pressing firmly together.
• Carefully dip each cake into the egg and then cover with crumbs.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet with the oil.
• When hot, fry the cakes until golden brown; don't cook them too quickly or the insides will remain cold.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently mix everything except the butter. Over medium-high heat, heat the butter in a large frying pan until it is foaming. (A nonstick pan is good for this purpose but cast iron can work well, too.)
• Working in batches if necessary, and adding more butter as needed, use a large spoon or measuring cup to place a scoop of the rice mixture in the pan. Press down with the back of a spatula to form a patty. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the bottom. Gently flip patty and cook another 3 minutes or until golden. Keep warm on a paper-towel-covered plate or pan in a warm oven.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cook the rice until the 'al dente' stage as it will finish cooking in the oven. Allow to cool. Heat up 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan. Add the pancetta, salami, and onions. Cook until golden and crispy.
• Cook the peas in a pot of salted water for approximately 2 minutes, or until soft. Add to the pan mixture and toss the ingredients together. Transfer the rice to a large bowl. Add an egg, Pecorino cheese, grated Parmigiano, diced Parmigiano, scamorza, salt, pepper, and the pancetta mixture with all its juices to the rice and thoroughly mix.
• Grease a baking dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle half the bread crumbs to the base of the pan. Spread the mixture onto the baking pan, packing the mixture so it serves as a solid bed. Sprinkle the remaining bread crumbs on top. Bake for 20 minutes or until the rice cake is golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 170C/fan 150C
• Grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
• Cream butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Beat in the eggs, then fold in all the dry ingredients followed by the milk.
• Place into the loaf tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
• Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then carefully tip out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the rice cakes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Drain and refresh under cold water.
• Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, place the peanut butter, hot water, sugar, garlic and soy sauce, and whisk together until combined. Set aside.
• Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet or wok on medium high. (Check the drained rice cakes. If they are sticking together, rinse them with cold water and gently toss to separate before adding them to the pan.) When the pan is hot, add the neutral oil and rice cakes, and toss to combine. Add soy sauce and stir-fry for 6 to 8 minutes, until the rice cakes begin to caramelize. (If more than a few clump together, add a tablespoon of water at a time and break them up with your spatula.) Add the yu choy and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the greens are wilted. Turn off heat, add the peanut sauce and toss to coat.
• To serve, drizzle with the diluted hoisin sauce, scatter with scallions and finish with sesame seeds.
